Dear Mr. Salt,

We confirm having to-day wired you that we are anxiously awaiting a report on the AC.9 bearings left with you last week, these being the subject of complaint at Leyland Motors, and we would say that these people are pressing for a report on this matter which is very urgent.

We therefore look forward to hearing from you at the earliest possible moment on this matter.

Yours sincerely,
